I'd be slightly wary, Bob. Hitherto, Real Bull mini-lathes have all had two speed ranges with the usual hi/lo gears.
Of course, it may be that they have decided to produce a version with a brushless motor and no gearbox, to compete with the one Sieg have produced and which LMS sells as the Hi-Torque.
If there is a picture on Ebay,look for a nut on the RH end of the leadscrew and a rectangular saddle. Siegs don't have the nut, and their saddles are H-shaped.
